Job Design and Evaluation Workshop

Explore Job Design and Assess the Value of the Jobs in your Organization

Birches Group is pleased to announce our 2018 Calendar for Job Design and Evaluation Workshop. This course is to complement our Compensation Management Workshop, which has been embraced by the international development community since its introduction in late 2014. Many participants in our Compensation Management courses indicated a strong interest in taking a detailed look at Job Design and Job Evaluation as a natural next step in building their HR expertise.

The curriculum focuses on topics that will help participants to fully understand and impact issues related to job design and job evaluation, which serve as building blocks to optimize organization design and impact the overall talent management strategy of your organization. The workshop will use the Birches Group CommunityTMjob evaluation system, which underpins our survey methodology, as the framework for examining the design and evaluation of jobs.

We know from our survey experience that many, if not most, international NGOs do not have a consistent, global approach to job design, so we expect that this workshop will meet a real need to help global organizations design, evaluate and organize jobs in ways that reflect the uniquely purpose-driven work that you do. And, if you have adopted the Birches Group job levels from the survey as a pro-forma grading system within your organization, this course will provide you with the necessary background to fully implement job levels that are adapted to your organizations specific needs.

“This course is an eye-opener and found it critical for HR in any urgent questions as Job Evaluation is the basis to attract, develop and retain talents. Birches team – keep up the good work. It is my hope that we will have another avenue to get similar training on other compensation & benefits subjects.” – Dubai training participant, November 2015

“The training will help NGOs to overcome some of the challenges in Job Design & Evaluation.” – Dubai training participant, November 2015

“My colleague participated in the Nairobi Job Design workshop and I did observe positive differences in her work as an HR Manager after this training” – Supervisor of Nairobi training participant, April 2017

The NGO Local Pay surveys, which are now being used by over 350 NGOs in over 85 countries, and will be our primary market data reference in the workshops, have created a resource that for the very first time allows INGOs to use a single, consistent reference to labor market data in order to manage compensation across multiple countries and from year to year. The availability of the data has illuminated the need in most NGOs to develop good practices in using data well, in order to guide good management decisions. These workshops are another step we are taking to help you to build those good practices for your organization.

The survey began in 2008 to support organizational effectiveness and operational excellence among international NGOs by creating readily available access to current, robust, relevant labor market data; and building capacity for good global management of reward.
